  A warm welcome to you

  Read the book " Crisis of Conscience" by JW Governing body member Ray Franz

  If your library does not have it they can order from another library .

  Or heres a link to the PDF online version http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/books/franz01.pdf

  This website is from Barbara Anderson she was at Bethel for many yrs and was on the Watchtower writing Dept .

  http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com

  Also Google "Jehovah's Witnesses child sex abuse " for some startling info .This alone can serve as proof

  Gods not guiding this bunch at all .

  Take things slow . Especially don't shoot your mouth off people will even shun you for being publically critical

  of the JW org .

  Do you have zeal for TTATT?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  2. friends

  who of you feels like they have zeal for ttatt and wish to spread it far and wide?

  who feels that it is like a "fire burning in your bones" that you can't keep shut?

  (don't worry, i love the power of the internet for anonymity)... ;).

  Help needed: JC standards/questions for "Drunkenness"

  by respectful_observer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm hoping those of you in the jwn community may be able to help me out.

  an acquaintance (of legal drinking age) may soon be sitting for jc under the charge of "drunkenness".. to those of you who have direct experience either serving on a jc, or being the subject of a jc related to the misuse of alcohol:.

  - could you provide a list of questions that were asked of the accused?.

  What PROOF is there that he over indulged .

  did someone count the drinks he consumed

  is their a blood alcohol level evidence

  There is no criteria for "drunkiness " in the bible or Elders book

  Only his confession of over drinking would be proof .

  Is their video evidence of proven behavior from drinking "to much alcohol"

  Is there any other pluasible reason for "drunken" behavior other than over indulgence

  What I think about the "We just love this idea" of David Splane

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw.org video about the annual meeting contains david splane saying "we just love this idea", when talking about the adjusted fds doctrine.

  "we just love this idea"????

  when it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines.
